[PATCH] KVM/x86: add comment to kvm_mmu_do_page_fault()

[Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com>]

On a first glance it isn't obvious why calling kvm_tdp_page_fault() in
kvm_mmu_do_page_fault() is special cased, as the general case of using
an indirect case would result in calling of kvm_tdp_page_fault()
anyway.

Add a comment to explain the reason.
